Bone health and clinical results after hip fracture surgery in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism.
Article in Journal of bone metabolism, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSubclinical thyroid dysfunction might influence a bone health. We evaluated whether subclinical hypothyroidism adversely affects bone health including bone mineral density (BMD), level of vitamin D, and bone turnover status in patients with hip fracture.
methodsWe evaluated 471 patients aged 50 years or older, who underwent hip fracture surgeries. BMD, level of vitamin D, bone turnover status, and one-year mortality were compared between subclinical hypothyroidism group and control group.
resultsBMD of femur and the level of 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25-[OH]D) were similar in the two groups. There were no significant differences in bone turnover markers according to thyroid function. No significant differences were observed between the groups in utilization of intensive care unit (ICU), length of hospital stay, mobility, and one-year mortality.
conclusionsSubclinical hypothyroidism was not associated with reduced bone health, including BMD, the level of 25-(OH)D, and bone turnover marker.
